Palma & the Badia de Palma
Medieval Architecture
Palma is like a 3D textbook on Mediterranean architectural history. The Gothic cathedral
is the show-stealer, but the old town's tightly packed lanes hide Modernista masterpieces,
medieval mansions and baroque
patis
(patios).
Miró, Barceló, Picasso & Dalí
Many of Spain's premier 20th-century artists had a soft spot for Palma. Miró has left his
playful mark all over the city, Miquel Barceló came from nearby Felanitx, and Picasso and
Dalí originals cram the city's stellar galleries.
The Mallorcan Kitchen
Mallorca's culinary star shines brightest in Palma, from the island's best seafood restaur-
ants to the coterie of restaurants overseen by celebrity chef Marc Fosh, to intimate tapas
bars around Plaça Major and irresistible pastry shops.
